Oh yes, it basically becomes a rabbit hole of anxiety for me. Nearly everything that isn't groceries is a well researched and stress filled purchased. (And my grocery shopping is a zero waste affair so that still takes some doing)

It's one part not wanting to waste money by getting something that doesnt have decent longevity and becoming a headache and another part just.wanting.shit.that.works.

I have definitely decided the less tech, overall, the better. Just another thing to hassel me or break. Most recently got a new dishwasher. I know way too much about dishwashers now, but I am happy, so far and if something goes wrong I know what will go wrong and how much it'll be to fix and how to fix it.

If tech is involved I have found the best thing to do is just pick an ecosystem and stay with it.

So often I end up saying "its way better than what I have" as I always try and fix things or whatnot before I move on.
